Not by a Russian torp, but by a Russian sub colliding with it while playing cat and mouse. I don't support or believe any of the nonsense that something happened within the submarine. Crews are on watch 24/7 and always manning their compartments. Surely someone would have noticed something amist and the Captain would have surfaced and called for help. I agree with the theory that a few months before a Russian sub was sunk and the Russians wanted payback and the Scorpion was it. Also, I believe that John Walker (the notorious Navy spy) who gave the code to Russia, allowed them to track Scorpions movements with precision. Perhaps, when Scorpion was in Rota, Spain dropping off 2 crewmen a Russian spy somehow planted a small bomb on the submarine? They were getting some work done according to an eye-witness who saw men welding something onto the starboard bow of the submarine while it was in port in Rota. A few days later is just sinks? Give me a break. Russia had something to do with its sinking.
